How adverse childhood experiences can effect lifelong health

March 30, 2016

This post is sponsored by the Center for Youth Wellness Before I was a blogger, I worked for over a decade as a psychotherapist. One of the most striking things I noted about humanity, from being in the role of counselor with so many people, is how far-reaching stressful events from childhood can be on an adult. The old adage "time is a healer" is not always necessarily true. I have worked with many adults who were still having daily ramifications from things that happened 20 or 30 years . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Haylee

March 30, 2016

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

That’s what SHE said: unchecked racism of the left, a confession about the war on drugs, a Muslim woman unlearns how to be an ambassador for her religion, questions from the final exam at Trump University, sweating the small stuff and more…

THE UNCHECKED RACISM OF THE LEFT AND THE PLATINUM RULE | huffingtonpost.com A white man calls out the unchecked racism of liberal white people who tend to center themselves in a misguided effort to combat racism... "White progressives need to learn to balance when and where white opinions are helpful, requested, and not imposing.

Then they need to practice drums and guitar, and after that they are usually begging to go outside and play with the neighbor kids while I assemble dinner. Before we know it, it's bedtime, and it's easy to feel like I barely connected with the kids before they have to head to bed. I've been . . .
